PURE WORSHIP OF JEHOVAH RESTORED AT LAST! P 26

DANIEL, part of the royal tribe of Judah, was taken to Babylon in 617 B.C.E.

Issue

Daniel 1:1 refers to the 3rd year of Jehoiakim's rulership. Daniel was taken into Babylonian captivity sometime during the 4th year of Jehoiakim, after the battle of Carchemish. The 4th year of Jehoiakim was the 1st year of Nebuchandezzar. But by using the date 617 B.C.E (which is not in the Bible) you are saying that Daniel was taken to Babylon the year AFTER Jehoiakim's 11th year of rulership. You state Jehoiakim's 11th year of rulership was 618 B.C.E. The year AFTER would be 617 B.C.E. That would be the 9th year of Nebuchadnezzar. But Daniel was already in Babylon by the 2nd year of Nebuchadnezzar.
(Daniel 2:1) . . .And in the second year of the kingship of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit began to feel agitated, and his very sleep was made to be something beyond him.

it-1 p. 1268 Jehoiakim

Jehoiakim’s bad rule of about 11 years (628-618 B.C.E.) was marked by injustices, oppression, and murder.

Issue

On the one hand you say that from the point of view of Jew living in Jerusalem Jehoiakim ruled for 11 years from 628 - 618 B.C.E.
On the other hand you say that from the point of view of Jew living in Babylon Jehoiakim ruled for only 3 years from 620 - 618 B.C.E.

it-2 p. 480 Nebuchadnezzar

Conquest of Jerusalem. Later, the rebellion of Judean King Jehoiakim against Nebuchadnezzar evidently resulted in a siege being laid against Jerusalem by the Babylonians. It appears that during this siege Jehoiakim died and his son Jehoiachin ascended the throne of Judah. But a mere three months and ten days thereafter the reign of the new king ended when Jehoiachin surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar (in the month of Adar [February-March] during Nebuchadnezzar’s seventh regnal year [ending in Nisan 617 B.C.E.], according to the Babylonian Chronicles).

Issue

The Scriptures state that Jehoiachin went into exile in the 8th year of Nebuchadnezzar. There is no mention of Nebuchandezzar's 7th regnal year in 2Ki 24:11-17. You cite these verses from 2 Kings further down in the paragraph from which this quote is taken. But by NOT mentioning that this was the 8th year of Nebuchadnezzar it is easy to confuse people into thinking this was the 7th year of Nebuchandezzar. It wasn't. It was the 8th year of Nebuchandezzar.

w79 11/1 p. 19 par. 11 Christian Neutrality as God’s War Approaches

Jehoiakim did procure calamity for himself. In his eighth year of rule, King Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and made Jehoiakim a vassal king to the new world power of Babylon. Three years later Jehoiakim met an apparently untimely death. His corpse was pitched outside Jerusalem’s wall to have the “burial of a he-ass.”

Issue

The 'eighth year of rule' is Jehoiakim's 8th year of rule. You say the 9th, 10th and 11th year of Jehoiakim's rule are what Daniel would call the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of Jehoiakim's rule.
